    I am descended from Samuel Rymes and Mary Wentworth of Portsmouth. I am looking for any information on the two families, and also I would like to join the Piscataqua Pioneers.

    Thank you,

    James T. Rymes

    Hello James.

    I have not found anything regarding the Rymes family, but there is a three volume set of the Wentworth Genealogy here in our library, which you can peruse more easily online at http://www.archive.org. This is a national collection of digitized books. Just enter “Wentworth Genealogy” in the search box at the top of the page and you will get immediate results.

    To join the Piscataqua Pioneers you should contact Bill Drew at PappouDrew@aol.com.

    While researching my family tree on my mother’s side (surname Berry), I ran across an interesting notation about one of my Ancestors (William Berry, 1610-1654):

    “William Berry is listed as one of the original English colonists of this area of New England. See “Piscataqua Pioneers” page 90 for bio information. Probably came from Devon as many of Mason’s colonists did. The Berry family lived first at Little Harbour, then were the first colonists to settle what on the neck of land on the south side of the Little River at Sandy Beach (now Rye).”

    Being in Austraila, the “Piscataqua Pioneers” is a difficult title to come by. Would you have this publication in your collection?

    Cheers Bill

    The reference to information about William Berry on p.90 is from The Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire by Noyes, Libby and Davis. The book is part of a collection of genealogical materials owned by the Piscataqua Pioneers organization whose library we maintain.
